The Festa della Fame e della Sete is one of the most eagerly anticipated summer events in Lunigiana, drawing increasingly large crowds year after year thanks to its perfect blend of gastronomic tradition and entertainment. Founded in 1998, this festival has evolved from a simple local gathering into a genuine regional celebration while preserving its authentic, popular character. What makes this event unique is its unconventional venue: the village cellars, normally used as storage facilities, are transformed into lively gastronomic stands showcasing Lunigiana's culinary specialties paired with carefully selected local wines. This choice creates an intimate and genuine atmosphere, allowing visitors to discover traditional flavors in a distinctive and atmospheric setting. But the Festa della Fame e della Sete is more than just food—the program continues after dinner with live music, musical performances, dancing and entertainment well into the night, transforming Piazza Castello into a stage of celebration and conviviality. The event is organized by the local community with support from Filattiera's municipal administration, which has guaranteed the quality and authenticity of the festival for nearly three decades. For those wishing to attend the 2026 edition, it's advisable to check the official Facebook page to discover the complete program of musical performances, stand opening hours, and the latest updates.
